Crock-Pot Aloha Chicken

While we love the convenience of making this recipe as a freezer meal that you can prepare ahead of time and cook whenever, this recipe is also just lovely made any old day of the week as a chicken recipe that the entire family will love (yes… including the kids!).

This was an easy and fun recipe to put together, and I dare say it could easily be doubled if you have a lot of people you want to feed. My kids were totally impressed by the sweet and tangy chicken that we shredded and served over jasmine rice that I cooked in my rice cooker.

But you could also serve this chicken over stir-fry noodles or even in a tortilla as a wrap.

The drawback with fresh pineapple is it hasn’t been processed and may end up being too hard in spots to chew vs using it via the can. I haven’t cooked fresh pineapple before to know what it ends up being consistency wise.

I did drain the juice from the pineapple, however I did actually purchase true pineapple juice (I purchased the small little cans of Dole pineapple juice) as the liquid in the pineapple tidbit/chunks cans is more water and sugar and less pineapple. In a pinch I would think it would be okay to just use the liquid from the chunk pineapple can but can’t guarantee it.

I would adjust your time by an several hours if you do it frozen. Most of the time you can switch to high, cutting the time by about half, but you may need to watch it a bit better to make sure it doesn’t burn. The newer crockpots…cook much hotter then the older style.

Hi Jeannie, This pineapple in this recipe is one of the main flavor profiles. We have not tested this recipe without it so cannot offer any advice on how the recipe will turn out without the pineapple in it.
